YES : Go to Step 7.

NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between blower relay connector C-206 (terminal 1) and the ignition switch (IG2).







NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-202 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If junction block connector C-202 is damaged, repair or replace the connector.

Q: Is the wiring harness between blower relay connector C-206 (terminal 1) and the ignition switch (IG2) in good condition?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

NO : Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 7. Measure the voltage at blower relay connector C-206.







1. Disconnect blower relay connector C-206, and measure the voltage at the junction block side.







2. Measure the voltage between terminal 5 and ground.
- The measured value should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts?

YES : Go to Step 9.

NO : Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between blower relay connector C-206 (terminal 5) and fusible link (1).










NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-24 and junction block connector C-204 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-24, junction block connector C-204 is damaged, repair or replace the connector.

Q: Is the wiring harness between blower relay connector C-206 (terminal 5) and fusible link (1) in good condition?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

NO : Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 9. Measure the resistance at blower relay connector C-206.







1. Disconnect blower relay connector C-206, and measure the resistance at the wiring harness side.







2. Measure the resistance value between terminal 3 and ground.
- The measured value should be 2 ohms or less.

Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with this range?

YES : Go to Step 11.

NO : Go to Step 10.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between blower relay connector C-206 (terminal 3) and ground.










NOTE: Also check junction block connector C-215 and joint connector C-01 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If junction block connector C-215 and joint connector C-01 is damaged, repair or replace the connector.

Q: Is the wiring harness between blower relay connector C-206 (terminal 3) and ground in good condition?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

NO : Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 11. Check blower switch connector C-12 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.







Q: Is blower switch connector C-12 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 12.
